Burg Kühlseggen

Weilerswist

Kühlseggen Castle, one of the most impressive moated castles in the region, is a moated castle converted into a private house with a large outer bailey, whose beginnings lie in the 15th/16th century. Until 1962, the moated castle was not inhabited, and its buildings fell into disrepair. Then these were extensively renovated and rebuilt to be used as a private residence.

Until well into the 19th century, the buildings of the castle complex stood on two islands: a high heaped one with the manor house and a second island on which the outer bailey stood. An outdoor tour is possible outside the moat on a circular path. The castle itself is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons. At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.
